Tonight, NBC premieres a new 2-part special, LEGO Jurassic World: The Secret Exhibit, which combines two of my favorite franchises. The story is set before the events of the first Jurassic World film. Simon Masrani, the founder of Jurassic World, has come up with an amazing new exhibit for the park. He tasks right-hand-woman Claire Dearing with transporting three dinosaurs across the park to the top-secret attraction. So Claire hires animal behaviorist Owen Grady, sight-unseen, to help her in this task. Of course, things don’t go as smoothly as planned – and not just due to the personality clash between the pair. What seemed like a simple task quickly turns into a wild adventure.

I have been a fan of the LEGO franchise for a long time – first the video games and then the movies. They are always so much fun, mixing humor and action with lots of great pop-culture references. Add to that the characters and setting from the Jurassic Park/World films, which are among my all-time favorite movies, and how could you go wrong?! A couple years ago NBC aired another LEGO Jurassic World special, but this one is twice as long and also gives us more of an origin story, showing the first meetings between Claire and Owen and Owen and Blue. This special looks like it will be a lot of fun, and I can’t wait to check out the back-to-back parts tonight!
